| Description: | The study of traditional, indigenous educational practices such as rites of passage,folktales, land use, etc. has fallen mainly within the interest of anthropologists. Because scholars have tended to equate education with the formal school building and have consistently focused on the role of literacy and literary tradition, many important and interesting traditions (especially African traditions) have been seen as falling outside the parameters of “legitimate” study in the history and philosophy of education (Reagan, 1996). This is unfortunate, for schools have overlooked the inherent value of informal traditional education (Fafunwa, 1982). |
